Mr. Lassiter, as I always called him, was dearly loved by my 2 children, Judd and Dayna, I do beleive that they loved him as much as they loved my husband and me.Then their was our 3 grandchildren they loved him and could not wait for his visits with us. We only wished that he would have been closer by to share so much of their lives. He is indeed missed. His daughter-in-law Lucy Lassiter

Anybody that knew Herman knew that he loved His Lord. Other than my own Dad, I never knew another man that was so willing to do anything or fix anything at his church. You used to say during testimony time that you would like to thank the Lord for everything He does for you, Herman, I would like to thank you again for making me feel so welcome the first time I attended Fairifled Baptist Church.

Having a team you like and could cheer on was important to Dad, but not the most important aspect of his life. The memories he shared of his service to our country and the lives of his friends and family reflected a deeper love for his country and the freedoms it created. My Dad embodied the spirit of its unsung herores, those that would and did give that ultimate price for its freedom and values. He prayed daily for thier safety and return home. A picture of Dad is available in the photo album.

"Mr. Herman", as I have known him for the past 14 years or so, impressed me with how willing he always was to help someone in need. He is always the oldest kid in the room, and the youngest at heart.
I reckon he is in Heaven now with my Gpa Lloyd, dancin' a jig, and finding out how the Master Builder is preparing our mansion. The Lord's comfort and strength be upon his family and friends. In the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
Amen
